The scam shows a photo of Cyrus looking ill and surrounded by pills — and image taken from her music video for "Blonde SuperFreak Steals the Magic Brain" — and pairs it with the headline, "{SHOCKING!} Miley Cyrus Found Dead in Her Los Angeles Home!"

But the controversial starlet is alive and well, a source confirmed to Hollywood Life, adding that, "Miley is just laying low and hanging out with her new dog and just relaxing. She is aware of the death hoax and thought it was actually pretty funny. By not responding, she thinks it is that much more of a joke because people are continuing to believe it."

Cyrus hasn't posted online for a few days, a fact that did worry the social media-savvy singer's followers.
